On
the panel are Conservative former chancellor Ken Clarke MP, Labour's

I make that 2 liberals - 1 labour - 2 ukip. No Tory.{even I have given up on Ken. He used to be so good too...sigh!}

BQ predicts - Dimbleby tie - White with just a hint of purple

1. is UKIP now the established 3rd party of UK politics? 2. EU arrest warrant - left over from last week3. Myleene Klass and the mansion tax4. That bloke being banned for 'possibly' inciting some ill-defined crime. {Ken is going to give some home truths about free speech and no right to not be offended.. and the twitter mob are going to burn him alive}5. Hmm... Band aid or student march? .. But probably some boring NHS is being privatised/not being privatised flam for Burnham-Carswell to point score over.

1. Ukip/Rochester Further defection type question.2. Is the NHS being privatised by UKIP/Tory/Labour - yes.By all 3.3.Paedo historic abuse something or other.4. Merged local authority. Birmingham is leading the way. 5. Student protests and tuition fees.

(0) silvery(1) massive devo powers for big cities like, er, Brum?(2) UKIp breaking the mold? (actually they may have an embargo on that one but there you go, I've written it now)(3) politics & football in various manifestations(4) have we forgotten about ebola? (well I obviously have)(5) bankers, are they even more evil than Tories?

1. Is Ed Davey right to complain that opponents of his £720million giveaway of money we haven't got are "Little Englanders"? Well, of course he is (this is the BBC after all). Personally I would have called them all evil Fatcherites too.

2. Is there any chance left for centre ground decency in Britain with the ascendancy of UKIP? The deluded UKIP voters are wacists - weally wacists. What will happen to the NHS? What will happen to the children? What will happen to our cushy jobs when the evil europhobes recklessly win in Rochester & Strood?

3. USA snow chaos shock horror armageddon. Does this finally prove what 99.7% of climate change scientists have been trying to tell us for decades? That they really have no idea what is going on but we're all going to fry unless we give them loadsa money?

4. Are the "Beheading Plot" terror suspects inspired by Fatcher? Of course, they see how she closed down all our industry so it's the natural response. No religion, please, we're the BBC.

5. Are all men rapists? Yes if the vile footballer and the vile pick-up artist get their way. Bicycle anyone?
